    Maybe we should just send the rugby team to play the football as well? At the very least their combined muscle mass could form an impenetrable block on the goal, then we can win on penalties.

    Nah. We told the fucking EU where to go. We did what no other European nation, I don't think, would dare to do, in an in-out referendum. We were bullied and menaced, and we still told them where to go.

    However you look at it, that is quite a gritty attitude from a fairly indomitable nation.

    It may turn out to be a disaster, sure: but you have to admire the gumption.
    Or maybe we're just spoilt assholes.

    Apparently all kids in Iceland have an app on their phone which they bump with boy / girl they fancy in a bar to check if they are distantly related enough to get it on...Apparently it is common to spend the night finding everybody is your second cousin or closer...

    I did a visit to a genetics/DNA lab when I was there once. They have records for 80% of the population going back about 300 years. They license out the data for research projects in various parts of the world.

    Iceland will get beaten by France maybe 5-0. They are shit. It's just that England are worse.
    The Icelandic defence (remember they won their group in qualification) is actually really strong. The French defence are mobile enough to stop them though and I don't see them being sucker punched the way England were.

    I think 1 or 2 nil is probably right.

    However, you are right. England were worse than shit.

    To be fair, they did look out on their feet so maybe there was some sort of low level viral infection in the camp ... But Hodgson should never have been appointed, even if the only other candidate was Harry Redknapp. Maybe that's the real problem with the Premier League: not foreign players but foreign managers.

    Bizarre. Is he going to be parachuted into Batley & Spen? If not, he's not eligible. And would the Corbynites really allow it? Would the local party allow it (I don't know the selection process). And then even if he is selected, would he win a vote against Corbyn?

    A more plausible route is Corbyn staying on to a GE at which Miliband returns, and DM wins the contest thereafter but still - 2nd favourite? Nuts.

    Nah. We told the fucking EU where to go. We did what no other European nation, I don't think, would dare to do, in an in-out referendum. We were bullied and menaced, and we still told them where to go.

    However you look at it, that is quite a gritty attitude from a fairly indomitable nation.

    It may turn out to be a disaster, sure: but you have to admire the gumption.
    In other words, we are idiotic. Nothing to be proud of. We've been humiliated - we feel small right now, licking our wounds and contemplating our stupidity.

    Is the Iceland manager not available after this tournament?

    Michael O'Neil is a remarkable manager. I think England might want to consider him.

    Come on Hunt, let's make it the best of five. Good lord.
    Is this jeremy or Tristram ?
    ItIt's jeremy, but he isn't suggesting quite what the headline suggests. He is saying we leave, we do a deal, we vote on the deal (or GE)
    That would be the usual Telegraph misrep that they do to everyone other than Johnson, then. There will be a lot of favours to be called in I f he does becone PM.

    We could have a pair of Hunts facing each other at PMQs every week.

    A sad fortnight to be English. First we get the fucking morons disgracing our country saying "fuck off Europe, we're voting out", then they win and vote us out, now we lose and are out.

    Was that aimed at me?
    Care to explain it?

    Unfortunately not. He's a dentist in Iceland so too busy.

    The idiots of the FA could have got him years ago & messed him about.

    If there is a referendum on the Brexit deal and the public says No then what happens?

    Negotiate a different deal? On what terms?

    We would still be leaving having triggered Article 50.

    Makes no sense.

    Exactly - honestly, a 'are you sure?' rerun makes more sense than what he seems to be suggesting.

    He isn't suggesting what you think...
    The red lines that are emerging are being in the single market and restrictions on free movement. EEA/EFTA won't wash following a campaign based on immigration.

    What if the easiest way to achieve that is a new deal within the EU?

    Perhaps the Icelandic players are promised fermented shark if they lose.
